A portion of the proceeds from Cool Black Ball will go to Ella Hill Hutch Community Center in the Fillmore. This event is endorsed by Ross Mirkarimi. District 5 Supervisor

Attire: The theme of the Cool Black Ball is about fashion of the Jazz decades: 1920's thru the 1950's. Suggested attire is vintage clothing of these four decades: cool, classy, sexy, hip and all black. This is only a suggestion so if you are unable to dress in these themes, please wear your finest black attire and come on down. This will be one of the Bay Areas coolest and classiest events.
